September 26, 2009

I want to thank everyone for their warm birthday wishes. I had a nice day as I watched 9 again. OK, let's get to some news.

:: Elijah's DNA artwork was auctioned off on Ebay last week and none other than our very own Karin had the winning bid! We all send congrats to her, Art of Elysium charity and DNA 11. It's great to know the piece went to a good cause and will be in the caring hands of a true fan. BTW, Karin out bid my own by a few dollars to take home the prize. I'll get it next time. ;-)

:: Also supporting Art of Elysium, Elijah was in attendance for their Heaven Gala Dinner on September 23rd. [1] [2] [3] Thanks for the pics Karin.

:: Elijah and Wall Street? You betcha! He was present on the New York Stock Exchange floor to ring the opening bell of trading. Here's the video and a page of pics. Thanks Patrick and Karin.

:: Singer Shirley Manson and Elijah have teamed up with sunglasses designer Oliver Peoples to be a part of an ad campaign that will include commercials. The ads will kick off in mid October. The inset photo accompanies these from the campaign. [1] [2] Thanks for the pics Patrick!

:: Patrick also stumbled on a wonderful video retrospecting Elijah's career. The video is no longer on the web, but I have a download of it. Believe me, it's worth it.

:: Elijah is scheduled to appear at the London MCM Expo on October 24th to further promote 9 that will be in theaters at the end of October.

:: The online vote at Film.com has been going for a few weeks and Elijah's portrayal of Frodo has made it to the final four. For this round, he's up against some heavy competition with Heath Ledger's Joker. Voting will be open until noon Wednesday, September 30th PST, so vote often.

:: According to a recent interview from Family Guy's creator Seth MacFarlane, looks like the television cartoon has enlisted Elijah for the season premiere that will air tomorrow, September 27th at 9:00 pm EST on FOX. I've looked on line but didn't find any more news about it, so if you want to tune in, well, there it is.

:: If you didn't get to see any of the shows Elijah appeared on last week, you can view Jimmy's entire show here, Alexa's here, Attack of the Show here and Elijah and Shane's takeover of Current TV.

:: Alexa's and Jimmy's show are not viewable online in some countries, and I can't get a hold of Alexa's but I have Elijah's segment on Jimmy's show for download in three parts. Part 1 // Part 2 // Part 3 (includes John Fogarty performance). Don't foget to enter the code at the top of each.

:: 9 did well at the box office on its opening week coming in second and taking in nearly $11 million at the box office in the U.S. There are some reviews of the film in the review section. I saw it and can't wait to see it again. :)

:: Please forgive me for not thanking all the wonderful folks who've provided us with goodies this time around. My concentration is a bit scattered. At this point we know who they are, so thanks everyone!

:: For those in the UK, if you don't want to be spoiled, the show will air tonight (Sept 2nd CNBC-channel 505 11:00 pm) or tomorrow night same time and channel... (it's getting confusing now) Thanks for the news Annabelle.
